Ratings and reviews

THOUGHT PROVOKING, reflects a very plausible future whereupon control, greed and technology become twisted to suit the elitist society. This film touches on the need to really think about why we are alive, why we have children in a corrupt world and so many more provocative subjects. Take from it what you will but be patient, it takes time for the full impact of this film to hit home. Well worth paying for a rental or buying on dvd. If you want an easy action film go elsewhere, if you like to use your brain and really imagine and perceive the possibilities of life, then this is most certainly a film for you!

Fresh acting from fresh faces about a fresh unheard of plot. All of which were promising and convincing. Normally I would say there are no new stories, new adventures but the plot here is unique. A world where a single mother is struggling to secure a future for her daughter and submits her self as lead case in a new procedure. The actors were very good, the plot flowed through the story with never a dull moment and visual art direction was superb. Good camera work too. I did not feel there was a dull moment in the film. I hope this team continues to make movies this fresh and this entertaining. I would definitely recommend this movie to serious sci-fi buffs. A must watch!
